Starring:
Penelope Cruz, Carmen Maura
Review:
Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodovar’s latest ode to women-in-peril is
as clever as anything he’s done. Penelope Cruz shines as the
heroine confronted with an abusive husband, the madness of a
patricidal daughter , the death of a senile aunt, and the return of
Cruz’ mother from the “grave.” But Almodovar leavens all this drama
with his own quirky humor. Hate chick flicks? Volver will change
your mind.
